An investigation into the suspect s possible motive was underway. The shooting occurred Tuesday morning inside a military “overflow area” at Riverside Tech Park, an Army general said at a news conference.
The gunman drove through a gate at an entrance to the base before military personnel confronted him on a road inside, said Fort Detrick spokeswoman Lanessa Hill.
“It wasn’t that long after he came through the gate that the shooter was stopped, Hill said. “Not even a quarter of a mile.” She said Frederick police had given base officials advance notice, so we knew that he was out there.”
